[PATCH] Making $invalid_referer accessible in Perl (and Lua)

Hello!

The $invalid_referer variable is always created with the
NGX_HTTP_VAR_NOHASH flag in ngx_http_referer_module, which
unfortunately prohibits its use in embedded dynamic languages like
Perl and Lua (through the ngx_http_get_variable function).

Below attaches a patch that removes this flag.

This issue was originally reported by Fry-kun.

Thanks!
